Eric V. Smith added the comment:
This is no different from other places in python where white space is optional.
As long as the parser can tell the end of a token, there need not be white
space before the next token.
For example:
>>> 1+2
3
>>> 1 + 2
3
However, if the parser cannot tell the end of a token, white space is required:
>>> 1.__add__
File "<stdin>", line 1
1.__add__
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
>>> 1 .__add__
<method-wrapper '__add__' of int object at 0x1300c68>
We're not likely to add "required white space" after the "from" token.
[I realize that in a "whitespace required" language, this is a slightly odd
statement!]
